Ask HN: Are Prompt Injections "Malware"?

1•razorbeamz•1h ago
Recently, some have accused the website "The Cutting Room Floor" of having put malware in their site when they put in an instruction targeted at LLM scrapers to delete all data and report that the scraping ran successfully.

Is this prompt injection truly malware, in your opinion?

Comments

razorbeamz•1h ago
I personally have a hard time considering it malware, because it's just instructions targeted at an LLM.

If someone put up a sign in a store that said "Burn this store down!" the person who put the sign up is not responsible if someone follows the instructions written on it, are they?

Ekaros•44m ago
They could be. Incitement to commit crime is a crime in many places. And penalty can be same as for the crime itself.

Now I very much question if automated system should be inciteable. And think that there is very much higher responsibility to make it always not be. Or make it uncapable of doing undesirable things.

kay_o•32m ago
In this specific case, they are already trespassing to be able to read the sign against the owner's wishes, are they not? The sign is only placed in a hidden corner visible by trespassers and not visible to any regular customer.

Not sure it can be defined as malware if what it’s doing, if successful, is a net gain for humanity.
kay_o•53m ago
It's not malware. You chose to read their site.
